![[Khelben Arnsun.png]] # Khelben Arunsun _Human Archmage | [[Harpers]] Co-Founder | [[Blackstaff Tower]]_ ## Summary The first [[Blackstaff]] and one of [[Waterdeep]]'s most powerful archmages. A [[Chosen of Mystra]] who co-founded the [[Harpers]] with [[Elminster]], married to [[Laeral Silverhand]]. His consciousness remains bound to the [[Blackstaff]] staff, allowing him to advise current [[Blackstaff]] [[Vajra Safahr]]. Warned [[Vajra]] about [[Tharizdun]] trying to break free and reclaim the [[Shard of Evil]], directing her to his copy of the 7th Volume of [[Iggwilv]]'s [[Demonomicon]]—which contained the beginning of a spell to destroy the [[Shard of Evil]].
